Abstract

Introduction: Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation and the Takkyu Volley therapeutic workshop are two very important modalities for the treatment of neurological patients. Objective: To evaluate the impact of conventional physiotherapy treatment and the Takkyu Volley therapeutic workshop on the functional independence and quality of life of patients in neurological rehabilitation. Method: This is a longitudinal, prospective, analytical study with 30 patients, performed at the Rehabilitation Clinic, from 2016/June to 2017/November, in Goiânia/GO. Of these patients, 10 were submitted only to conventional physiotherapy and 20, besides conventional physiotherapy, were also directed to the Takkyu Volley therapeutic workshop. Three questionnaires were applied: sociodemographic, SF-36v2 quality of life and Barthel Index. Descriptive and comparative statistics were performed. Results: The evaluated group had a mean age of 52.4 years; it consisted mainly of men, lived with the spouse, with family income up to a minimum wage. The evaluation of the quality of life showed greater impact on the dimensions "Functional Capacity", "General Health Status" and "Pain". The Takkyu Volley Therapy Workshop excelled at some items compared to conventional physiotherapy. In the first phase they achieved better scores in the dimensions: mental component, social aspect. And in the second phase: physical component, mental component, functional capacity, physical aspect, general state of health and emotional aspect. All the data evaluated by the Barthel index questionnaire did not show statistically significant differences in the comparison between the two modalities evaluated. Conclusion: Both treatments had positive results in improving functional disability and patients' quality of life, with special emphasis on the Takkyu Volley workshop, which achieved more expressive results.
